THERE Is great trepidation IN the Dem
ocratic ranks regarding the position Of
Mr.. Randall on the tariff question. Ii is
conceded that he and his followers hold
the balance OF power inthe House on that
issue and that on them depends the light
or heavy scaling down ofprotective duties.
The out-and-oufers OF the free trade wing
want him relegatcd 20 back seat,
while the more prudent, fearing his pow
